Scaling to New Heights Workshop

The NSF PACI leading-edge centers (NCSA, PSC, SDSC) together with the Center for Computational Sciences (ORNL) and NERSC, conducted a workshop examining the issues involved in scaling applications to thousands of processors in May 2002.

The workshop included a poster session, invited and contributed talks, and a panel session. Participants examined the issues involved in developing and adapting research software to effectively exploit systems comprised of thousands of processors.

Subsequently, a Birds-of-a-Feather talk was presented at SC2002 in November 2002 which collected the ideas gathered at the workshop.

Further information on both the BOF talk and the workshop are available.
